A review by ostrava
The Drifting Classroom, Vol. 9 by Kazuo Umezu
5.0
I think I've suddenly realized why this series is so effective to me. It talks about the underestimated tension that will increase between our current generation and the previous ones who left us a world on the brink of environmental collapse.
This is confirmed by the references towards pollution and the injustice of being thrown into a dying world without clean water, good food or even a chance at life. And it takes that and it turns it into a horror story about adapting to radically different world than the one you grew up in.
And this was written in what, the 80s? The 70s? That is incredible. And it even has kids involved in knife fights, serial killers, time traveling communication... shit is a masterpiece! You have to accept some absurdities here and there, but I really don't mind them. And if the operation chapter doesn't do it for you, I don't know what to tell you.
